Microwave failed to head and light, fan, and turntable failed to come on.

Problem was due to a faulty door switch. Replaced with a new switch and the microwave now works fine! Only thing that was tricky was that LG uses the hex screws with a peg in the middle to keep the microwave cover on. Had to use a small screwdriver and pliers (on the screwdriver) to unscrew the screws.

suddenly stopped working while in use

i unplugged the unit,unscrewed the outer shell so that all the wiring and internal components were visible.starting at the first of three micro switches i removed the slip on terminals installed the alligator clips too the wires so the switch would now be bypassed.i made sure the wires and clips were not touching anything plugged unit in and it worked.i then installed the new switch and closed up the outer shell

turn table motor

remove the screws from the bottom, leave tthe light wires attached. There are two screws holding the motor on, disconnect and mark the old unit where the yellow wire goes. Mount motor with two screws and connect wires. Turn on Miicrowave for 10 sec, to be sure all is correct. Attacch bottom cover and reattach power cord. Before doing anything make sure power cord is disconnected and reattached when sealed.

No Heat

1. Removed unit from the cabinet. (2 screws). 2. Remove the outer microwave metal shell. (10 screws). 3. Locate and remove part. (3 screws). 4. Install new part and replace all screws. 5. Install unit back into cabinet. So easy. I will share this site with all of my friends.

Microwave would not heat food, but everything else worked.

Problem was a faulty door latch switch. I easily accessed the switch by removing the control panel, total of 4 screws. After that, just disconnected the three switch door latch assembly and connected the new one. Took about half an hour and was very easy. Unit works perfectly now.

Had to lift on the door for the microwave to run, suspected the door switches.

Ordered the switches from Partselect, arrive in two days. Had trouble removing the plastic connectors from the old switch terminals, one of the plastic protectors broke, but was able to reuse it. It took a little figuring out how to remove the existing switches. Must push in a tab and rotate the switch on a little pin, then remove. Must be careful not to break the plastic tabs holding the switches in place. Replaced all (3) switches at the same time. All in all it was pretty easy.

The turntable in my built-in microwave oven stopped working

First, I checked YouTube to see if there was a video showing how to do the repair ... It's as easy as unplugging the power cord, removing 6-8 screws on the bottom panel, unplugging the wire harness from the AC synchronous motor, removing two screws hold the motor in place, putting the new motor in place with the two screws, connect the two wires to the brass tabs, replacing the bottom panel, reconnecting the power - and you're done. Easy!
